Chapter 363 Her Majesty's Harem 302
The Egg System reminded Yan Jiu: "It's not safe for you to be in the same room with Shang Xuan. He can kill you at any time.
You have taken advantage of your status as emperor to tease and flirt with him more than once before, and today you want to make it a fait accompli and get him into the palace.
Shang Xuan has known about your plot for a long time. He is now lying on the bed pretending to be unconscious, looking for an opportunity to kill you."
Yan Jiu: "Oh, don't make a noise, I'm trying to figure it out."
Egg System: "Are you thinking that even if you die under the peony flowers, you will still be romantic as a ghost?"
Yan Jiu: "...Shut up."
Egg System: "Humph, shut up if you want. I'm just worried you'll die right after arriving in this world. I'm taking your kindness for granted."
Yan Jiu drummed his fingers on the table: "I don't want to die, nor do I want to give up the throne to others. I must first gather a few rich and powerful confidants."
Egg System: "The families behind the four concubines in your harem are very powerful. If you can gain their support, the throne will basically be secure.
The Queen Mother, Prince Luo, the Third Prince, the Fifth Princess, and so on are no match for their family."
Yan Jiu: "Okay, I'm going to sleep with them."
Egg System: "You drugged them, slept with them, and took them into the palace. But you ended up creating hatred in your sleep, and the families of the four imperial concubines are the ones who want to rebel."
Yan Jiu touched his chin and said, "I have to find a way to break the deadlock."
Egg System: "What method?"
Yan Jiu: "Can I get pregnant now?"
The Egg System: "No, but there are fake pregnancy pills that will simulate the pregnancy process, but the pregnancy will naturally end after three months."
Yan Jiu: "Give me a fake pregnancy pill."
The Egg System was happy: "Okay, one thousand points."
Yan Jiu: “Yes, I bought it.”
After Yan Jiu swallowed a fake pregnancy pill, she instructed the palace maid, "Go get the imperial physician. Remember, make sure you make a big noise."
The maid nodded respectfully and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty." After that, she turned around and left in a hurry.
Yan Jiu watched the palace maid leave, then walked to the bed, stretched out her slender fingers and gently stroked Shang Xuan's handsome face.
The delicate and smooth touch from her fingertips made her heart move slightly.
"General Shang, wake up quickly..."
Yan Jiu called softly, her voice so gentle that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.
As Shang Xuan felt a surge of murderous intent in his heart, Yan Jiu's hand left his cheek.
So he quickly adjusted his state and pretended to be confused as if he had just woken up.
Shang Xuan slowly opened his eyes, sat up on the bed, looked at Yan Jiu blankly, and asked, "Your Majesty, how did this humble servant get here?"
Yan Jiu smiled slightly and replied softly, "You drank too much and passed out. I'm worried about your health, so I ordered someone to bring you here to rest for a while."
Shang Xuan's eyes flickered with a subtle hint of anger when he heard this, but he maintained a respectful expression on his face. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern and consideration. I am deeply ashamed of my drunken behavior. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm drunk too. I feel a little unwell, so I came here to rest."
Yan Jiu spoke quickly, fearing that Shang Xuan would lose control and break her neck in order to maintain his innocence.
"I've asked the palace maid to call the imperial physician. He'll be here soon. I'll have him cook some hangover soup for us both."
She wanted to let Shang Xuan know that she and he were not a single man and a single woman.
She is not trying to keep the two of them together on purpose. She has asked someone to call the imperial physician. Please don't twist her neck suddenly.
Shang Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering what conspiracy the Queen was plotting.
What kind of hangover soup is this? I guess it’s something with added ingredients.
"Your Majesty, I feel much more sober now and do not need to drink the hangover soup anymore."
Yan Jiu didn't force it. She knew Shang Xuan suspected her, so she just made up a mixture of lies and truth.
"It's great that the young general is sober. I just received an alert from the secret guards saying that there are assassins trying to kill me at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. I came here specifically to find General Shang."
There was no trace of surprise on Shang Xuan's face.
He naturally knew about the assassination of Her Majesty the Queen. Yan Jiu was not fit to be an emperor. Apart from playing with men, he also bullied and dominated men. He was worse than trash.
Even he himself had just had such a thought.
"Since Your Majesty is aware of the assassin's presence, you should have immediately summoned all the guards to protect you, rather than coming alone to find me."
Yan Jiu's beautiful eyes gazed at Shang Xuan affectionately, and her clear eyes could only accommodate him.
She said affectionately, "I know."
"But, in this huge palace, the only person I can trust is you, my dear."
"Only Lord Shang is loyal to me. I only want you to protect me."
